I hear the TSI400's and loved em. I just figured the 5's would be that much better, and the RTI's being the next series up should sound amazing. But yes I do wanna audition them first. Is Amazon the best price I will find? Ebay didn't help at all for the RTIA's.

Is that the big center for the RTi line??? And yes it's the timbre matched center. It makes a world of difference, so make sure you get a CSi center. You want the CSi center with the 61/2" drivers on it. You will be more satisfied that way. If you like the 400s you should love the 5's. You would want to pick up a sub if you can because I have a feeling that the A5's might lack a little in the low end. Just a suggestion, maybe zweet can chime in for you.

Yeah the csi a4 is the perfect match for the a5's to get the best sound in the lower frequenies you will want a sub especially for movies.Also If you don't mind refurbished I would recommend polk's ebay site or calling them and asking what they have.I have heard of some awesome scores going that route and they give you 1 year warranty on the refurbs.

if you can get the CSIa6 for cheap then I would go for it. I have the a6 paired with my a5, isn't it everybody saying here we need to have a top of the line center speaker for that is where most of the dialogue will come out?
